A report of stolen prescription drugs instead resulted in felony charges against both the reporting party and another Kirksville resident.

Joshua N. England, 28, has been charged with a class D felony of fraudulently attempting to obtain a controlled substance, and Myra Jo Billington, 22, has been charged with a class C felony of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

Court documents state Kirksville Police was dispatched to the 800 block of Kings Court after a report of stolen medications. Billington allegedly told police another individual had stolen her medication, a prescription for Xanax.

The individual Billington accused told police he knew Billington was selling her medication and he took the bottle to prevent her from selling any more.

Police then contacted England, who initially denied purchasing pills from Billington. He consented to a search of his apartment and KPD found four empty prescription bottles that had been prescribed by two doctors and filled at two different pharmacies.

England had also filed his own report of theft recently, which he reportedly told police he made in an effort to obtain additional Xanax to replace his stock.

Documents state he also told police he flushed the pills he purchased from Billington down his toilet when police arrived at his home. He told police he bought 30 pills from her in exchange for $15 and 1.5 grams of marijuana.
